Let me make something 100% clear to the American public and anyone running for public
office: It is illegal for any person to solicit, accept, or receive anything of value from a foreign
national in connection with a U.S. election.(1) This is not a novel concept. Electoral intervention
from foreign governments has been considered unacceptable since the beginnings of our nation.
Our Founding Fathers sounded the alarm about “foreign Interference, Intrigue, and Influence.”
They knew that when foreign governments seek to influence American politics, it is always to
advance their own interests, not America’s. Anyone who solicits or accepts foreign assistance risks
being on the wrong end of a federal investigation. Any political campaign that receives an offer of
a prohibited donation from a foreign source should report that offer to the Federal Bureau of
Investigation.

(1) 52 U.S.C. § 30121(a)(2).

    There are about 14 billion witnesses to the Koch brothers financing the overthrow of Ukraine's legitimate government. Of course, you'll probably have to dig them out of cellars and whatnot.

    Proof, you say? Yeah, right. Either you're awake, or you're not. And, I don't mean "woke". Why would the Koch's invest so much in Ukraine, knowing that the President of Ukraine was buddying up to Russia? The Koch brothers overthrew that government for their own personal profit, plain and simple.
